As we are all aware, the League of Nations and the United Nations were implemented, which is followed by emergence of a plethora of international organizations. In the national level, on the other hand, cultural institutions such as British Council (BC), Goethe-Institut (GI) and the Japan Foundation (JF) are, including their predecessor institutions, in principal, established in hope of contributing to build peaceful international environments. The missions shared by 3 cultural institutions have been developed in accordance with the concept of Internationalism and interconnectedness by promoting mutual understanding and cultivating favorable cultural relations among states and nations.<\/p>\n<p>However, such cultural institutions as BC, GI and JF are, currently, exposed to at least two immense pressures; involvements in the war of propaganda amidst the rise of nationalism and difficulties in assessing the effectiveness of cultural projects.<\/p>\n<p>With this background in common, academic experts on international relations as well as cultural practitioners and professionals will explore the role of culture in the terms of diplomatic endeavors especially in the context of the current world situations. We do hope our discussion will inspire those who are interested in international relations culture and diplomacy, from diplomats, cultural experts and practitioners to the general public so that they can think further about the possibility of international cultural practices beyond the dichotomy of internationalism and nationalism.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that this symposium will provide insight into the cultural diplomacies and promoting international cultural relations of three respective countries in the current changing world, and it will inspire the participants to be more exploring into their future collaboration and development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Profile of Speakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bacc.or.th\/upload\/Japan%20Foundation%20Profile%20of%20Speakers%20Eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color:#0000FF\">Click<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Schedule (Bangkok Time, GMT +7)<\/strong><br \/>\n12:30 PM&nbsp;Open registration<br \/>\n1:00 &#8211; 2:30 PM&nbsp;<strong>Part I: Cultural Diplomacy: Its concepts and Interpretations in Each Nation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Moderators and Discussants:<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Assoc.
